The Day I Will Never Forget

Today is the day I will never forget; so will all Americans, and hopefully all people in the world - Fourth of July, 1776.
Declaration of Independence, which I have been working on with all my heart, is finally complete. Fellow members of the Second Continental Congress adopted resolution of declaring independence two days ago, and Declaration of Independence got approved by the delegates today.
I put a lot of thoughts and times on this document, but it is actually quite simple. The main idea is that we, all people, are created equal. Therefore, every one of us has unalienable rights: life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
Also, I wrote that governments derive their powers from the people and that when governments are unjust, the people have the right to form new, just governments. In conclusion, the thirteen colonies are free from control of Great Britain.
I am grateful for John Locke, who thought of humans' natural rights, and put theory of revolution together. His theory inspired me and served as base of Declaration of Independence.
Additionally, I hope and firmly believe that this ball will roll round the world at least the enlightened part of it, for light and liberty go together. I am very proud that America gets to put it into motion first.
